In its first Ivy road trip of the season, the Princeton
baseball team swept Yale to extend its conference winning streak to four. The
Tigers defeated the Bulldogs 6-3 in game one and concluded the doubleheader
with a 2-1 victory. Behind the sweep, Princeton improves to 11-11 overall, 5-1
Ivy League on the year.

Junior Matt Bowman led the Tigers with four hits and three
RBI, while freshman Tyler Servais tallied three hits and a pair of runs on the
day.

Game One

The Tigers employed a seventh inning offensive burst to
defeat Yale, as both sides traded runs early on.

In the second inning, John Mishu's RBI single provided
Princeton with a 1-0 lead, but the Bulldogs responded in the bottom half of the
inning with a solo homerun to even the score.

Bowman hit an infield RBI single in the third inning to lift
the Tigers, 2-1; however Yale was there again to even things up in the next
frame with a run of its own.

With no outs and the bases loaded in the top of the seventh,
Alec Keller was hit by a pitch to score Jonathan York from third. Bowman followed
with a two RBI single through the right side and two batters later, Mike Ford's
sacrifice lineout added the Tigers' final run of the inning.

Down 6-2, Yale only managed a lone run in the bottom half of
the inning, as Princeton pitcher Ford was able to get out of the frame before
the Bulldogs could strike again.

Over seven innings on the mound, Ford tallied three
strikeouts.

Game Two

A pair of second inning runs and solid pitching from Zak Hermans was enough to lift the Tigers to a 2-1 victory and sweep over Yale.

With runners on the corners and two outs, Nate Baird and
Alex Flink tallied consecutive RBI singles to give Princeton a 2-0 advantage in
the top of the second.

After a pair of scoreless frames, Yale's Ryan Brenner broke
up Hermans' shutout with an RBI sacrifice fly. Hermans, who threw 8.1 innings
and tallied six strikeouts, only gave up three hits over the final four
innings, preventing the Bulldogs from taking control of the game.

Michael Fagan earned his first save of the year, striking
out two of the three batters he faced in the ninth.

Princeton next heads to Brown, for a doubleheader on Sunday,
April 8. First pitch is scheduled for 12 noon.
